Goodreads asked H Raven Rose:

How do you get inspired to write?

H Raven Rose I always knew, as a young child, that I would be a writer when I grew up. My mother says that when I was two I would happily pretend to read alongside her for hours (often holding the book upside down). As a girl, I read a book almost every day (I once got in trouble in math class for having a fiction book inside of my textbook, eek). I love to read both fiction and non-fiction, both modern and ancient texts, and feel that books saved my life as a child by offering me gorgeous and uplifting adventures. When I open a book, I enter a world. So, I don't know that I get inspired to write so much as it is part of my Soul path and for the longest while story ideas, characters, dialogue fragments, parts of plots, concepts that I want to explore in a story, have come to me nearly constantly (I've had to instruct my subconscious to focus on existing plots and minimize coming up with new ideas as I have so many ideas already that I may not be able to write them down in this lifetime). Additionally, since my 20s, I have gotten much training in writing (which I continue), and being a student of writing and reading frequently inspires me and facilitates my ability to shape ideas into specific types of content.
